Orchidomania：Hearts and flowers
The Lost orchid.
In 1818 an orchid was sent from Brazil to Britain.
The specimen, later christened Cattleya labiata, had been collected by William Swainson, an English naturalist keen to make a name for himself in an age when natural history was newly fashionable.
When eventually induced to bloom, revealing crimson, lip-shaped petals, C. labiata was agreed to be among the most splendid of its kind.

兰花狂热：心与花
失落的兰花。
1818年，一株兰花从巴西被送往英国。
这份标本后来被命名为卡特兰（Cattleya labiata），由英国博物学家威廉·斯温森（William Swainson）采集，他渴望在博物学刚刚成为时尚的时代扬名立万。
当它最终被催开花，露出深红色的唇形花瓣时，人们一致认为C. labiata是其同类中最华丽的品种之一。
